All furnishings have been specifically designed for the hotel, whose equal is neither found inside nor outside Denmark’s borders.

The rustic and maritime atmosphere can be felt in the 200 years old hotel’s 366 rooms and suites, which have all been adapted to the original timber constructions of heavy Pomeranian pine. The solid teak furniture, custom designed for Admiral Hotel in cooperation with Trip Trap, makes the rooms much more than mere bedrooms. All furniture has teak gratings – or ship gratings.

SALT restaurant is located in a 200-years-old listed, historical building. Large exposed beams frame the ceiling, interconnecting our times with past times when the building was a warehouse, as far back as the 1780s. The rustic, white-washed walls, big mirrors and simplistic blue and burgundy designer’s furniture all set off the ancient Pomeranian pine beams.

Architecture and concept were conceived in close cooperation with world-renowned restaurant and hotel designers Conran & Partners. The London company has designed restaurants in London, Paris, New York and Tokyo, and in January 2003 the SALT bar & restaurant in Copenhagen.

The décor they selected springs mainly from a desire to honour the magnificent structures and beams of the ancient warehouse. To this end, they designed the new elements in a modern style that creates striking contrasts to the old elements, and the resulting overall impression accentuates every feature of the restaurant, new and old.

Due to legislation SALT restaurant is now a non-smoking restaurant for guests at breakfast and lunch. In the evening SALT restaurant is divided into a smoking- and a non-smoking section.

In SALT restaurant you will find three different kinds of seawater salts.

Unfortunately there is no internet connection available in the restaurant.
